Recommended LoRa Ground Station Platform? #5

Open K4KDR opened 3 years ago

K4KDR commented 3 years ago

Hello!

Is there a particular platform (Rasp. Pi, Arduino, ESP32, etc.) and a particular LoRa device that is recommended for compatibility with your project?

There seem to be a lot of choices in the 915 MHz LoRa world, so it would be great to obtain the best Ground Station hardware from the start to be able to support your project.

Best of luck!

Hey! Know it's been a while but figured I'd chime in. I'd take a look at the Adafruit Discord, their smallsats channel has a lot of people working CubeSats, including some PyCube based ones like V3RX

Thank you! It turns out that what is now called the 'tinyGS' project has really taken off:

... with multiple Telegram channels in use for discussion & the posting of telemetry from their database. It's all run via MQTT, so that has been a fun environment to learn.

Best regards,
